  • Q&AIncluded

Culture is what keeps happening after the person who started it leaves. Most organizations cannot tell the difference between a culture and a personality, which is why so much of it evaporates the moment someone takes another job.

This talk is about the unglamorous, repeatable parts — the standards, the habits, and the things a team does when nobody senior is watching.
